Amazing place in a very strategic area as it is close to mont Popoti and literally 15 min by scooter to Matira beach !!

Lovely little place to stay with great hosts, who have a nice balance between interacting with guests and allowing them their own space. They have set the space up really well to manage this. Everything an independent traveller needs is there! Thank you.

There are a few rules in the house, but I appreciate them because they are necessary for maintaining a clean and harmonious environment.

“I feel very grateful for Karen and rainui making us such an affordable accommodation in Bora”

Affordable price and convenient location,beautiful garden and people.Thanks Karen and rainui for going extra miles to assist me during my knee’s injuryed days.all the best to reihei:)

“I feel joy when I think of my stay at Raihei.”

When I arrived, I had just taken three flights from America to Bora Bora. From the moment I arrived at the Raihei hostel, I was taken care of, made to feel comfortable, great communication and support, a lovely family.

“Wonderful place to make you feel at home”

This place is all about the hosts who are genuinely wonderful human beings. Since they are locals to Bora-Bora, they can give you plenty of tips on how to fill your day with jaw-dropping activities and experiences. Place itself was really clean, bed was fresh and clean too, internet worked great, breakfast and dinner were super yummy. Possibility to do laundry and to rent a bike.

“Backpackers perfection for Bora Bora”

Ideal budget option for solo backpackers, had a better stay here than in Tahiti hostels Great hosts, Karren speaks good English and has good recommendations and offers available. First time staying in accommodation within someone's home, but didn't feel intrusive, you are as welcome to include yourself as much as you are comfortable with (for example I didn't join the family for dinners, but saw others do it nightly) and it created a comfortable vibe between the travellers like me who had been away from home for long spells Adorable house dog (miss you Vani)

“Just lovely and sweet!! :)”

The hosting family was super lovely and very accommodating.

“Best Place Ever!”

This place is amazing. You will have an authentic experience of Bora Bora with Karen and her family, they are all so kind and warm. Also, you have lots of comfort: clean restroom, hot water in the shower, decent beds. And, if you want to spoil yourself, you can go and see the sunset in the Yatch Club that is just across the street for Happy Hour. The Lagoon tour that Karen recommended was incredible, and she can rent you a bycicle so you can go around the island. This is a no brainer, and for the price that is offered, and in Bora Bora!

Price and the Lagoon tour which the host could organize

Everything ok

“clean and affordable with great host”

very clean house and Karren was a warm and helpful host who spoke good English

Cozy hostel in a family house, friendly atmosphere, attentive hosts. My two days in Bora Bora well spent, especially with the Lagoon trip recommended by the hostess. It is wonderful that in Bora Bora there is such a hostel where backpakers can stay.

“Great stay”

Friendly and helpful hosts who can help with booking tours or renting bikes. Aircon in private bedroom.

“Real local experience, very friendly and helpful owners that helped us out!”

Very friendly and helpful owners, we could rent two bikes and they booked us in for a lagoon tour, perfect location to get to know the local way of life

“Great value, great location, great hosts.”

The family you stay with are very kind and welcoming. As a solo traveler it really made my trip and made me feel at home. There is somewhere you can go in the evening opposite and it’s a 20minute walk to all the amenities you could need. Hostel is clean and safe!

Very nice stay in Vaitape! About a 30 min walk from the ferry. Warm and welcoming hosts, will help you with anything, including tours, bike rentals etc. Perfect place for a traveller on a budget.

“Authentic local family house”

I loved the concept of this family house accommodation. Karen and her family was lovely and very kind. She did extra mile,even helped me to sew my bikini as I had some issues with it and she got the sewing machine. She was doing also phone calls from her phone to check availability in resorts. She was always very helpful to answer any question and give advices. The husband too, but only Karen speaks english;) Location is great and that the bikes are ready to use anytime.

“The owners were very friendly and helpful, feels like home”
